I find it sad that the only recognition this movie gets is Bjork's
involvement in it. While I do admit that she's an asset to it (she
looks peculiar and is talented), I also think that the movie has
qualities of its own.
The eerie mood of the film is heightened by a lot of silence and a
slow pace. Put that against a rocky landscape in black and white,
and add a beautiful raw score, and you get a nice result. I wish it
were a little longer. The setting (architecture) and costumes really
take the viewer to another time and place.
I definitely recommend this movie, keeping in mind that it's not an
action movie, nor a horror movie. It's full of earth and soul.
